"Initially, I was hired at Universal Studios to be the 1st A.D. working under Mr. Logan on the feature film "Dream Trap." Eventually, I was hired to produce films at Universal and immediately asked Tom to direct. I have since produced four feature films with Tom as the director. Tom's ability to get the very best from the actors is first rate. However, his ability to understand financial concerns and at times constraints without suffering quality is second to no other director." |

"10-12 hour days are the norm for Tom, not 16 - because of his preparation. No egos, no yelling. When Tom directs, he sets up all the shots with not only the actors in mind, but also the crew. I've been in the business for 20 plus years and Tom makes it worthwhile." |

"Tom brings himself and his actors to the set with a kind of energy and enthusiasm that vibrates through the entire crew. He's a showman, dynamic personality; but it's his preparation, and his ability to communicate his ideas effectively, that allows him to sustain that kind of energy throughout the entire schedule. Logan is an actor's director, but his homework is done with the entire company in mind. My crew is always ready to move on a scene because we know what he wants, and he has told me how he expects things to evolve. It's always solid directing, solid leadership." |

"Tom Logan is an editor's director. Having edited five of Tom Logan's Feature Films, I never had to worry if the picture was going to 'cut'. As a matter of fact, Tom worked out each scene and transition perfectly, making for a smooth and fast edit, which meant coming in under budget in post-production." |
